CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Here is a sampling of what our past clients have to say.  In order to preserve confidentiality, only their first names and location is listed.

___________________________________________________________________________

Mr. Billingsley was very helpful in my case. I had an OWI and he gave me all the options that I had, and he gave me advice on what I should do. I had never been to court before and he explained to me everything I needed to know. I plead guilty to the OWI, and during the sentencing Mr. Billingsley was able to get me a deferred judgment and the speeding ticket dismissed. I was very pleased with the result. A few days later I received a bill that was less than what I expected to pay. Next time I have some legal troubles I know who is going to represent me.

Nathan of Newton, Iowa

John Billingsley has represented me several times and each time has done a great job on each case. I'd recommend him for anything.

Chad of Newton, Iowa

John Billingsley showed pure dedication and interest in my arson case. He worked a total of 1 ½ years assuring me of the legal council that I needed. My family and I owe him our gratitude for his hard work for us. I recommend his service to others.

Chris of Newton, Iowa

Attorney John Billingsley handled my case in a very efficient and effective manner. This process is a difficult thing to go through and John made me feel comfortable throughout the process. John spent time going through all the issues with me so that I would understand what the best options would be and how best to approach the case. I appreciated his honesty and straightforward approach to what was an emotional situation for me. I would recommend him for anyone who is going through a criminal case.
